caching events to disk on Universal Forwarder

Hi!
According to documentation on outputs.conf, maxQueueSize sets value for amount of RAM that queue can take when indexer is down.
But I need to be able tocache large amounts of events, for example 5 or 10Gb and i want to do it using HDD.
How can I do that?
